Quote of the day, "We judge others by their actions, but we judge ourselves by our intentions" - Ian Percy

Good morning everyone, enjoy these early morning pictures from my garden, including a white Dahlia ✨🌸🌻

ps: Sorry, the name of the flower in the first picture escapes me. Regardless, it's one of my favorites.

Today has been a long #day as few representatives from Fill the Empty Stomachs Farming Initiative spent their day helping put one of the local #farmers in her #garden. Together we harvested sacks of maize at which some were donated to our #food store to feed the most #vulnerable children in our society.

The snow is finally melting, the birds are chirping.

It can only mean one thing.

#Garden planning time is here.

(Well, it should have been here like, two months ago, but we've been busy.)

No time like the present to dream about all the seeds we can start, all the garden projects we'll only half-way complete... 😆

What is on everyone's gardening agenda this year? What new projects are you taking on? What are you most looking forward to?

Todays plum prep realization: Cutting around & twisting easily obtains one stoneless half.
Stony halves are destined for jam & sauce, stoneless for stewed fruit & puddings.

In this week's gardening blog post, I share how I harvested, cooked, and then ate a dahlia tuber (yes, they are edible). And yes, it was a culinary adventure.

Mock Orange for #wildflowerwednesday



We don't have too many wildflowers here, being in a city and all, but I was out in the wild when I spotted it - so I am counting it. 😂✨

Is anyone interested in a citrus thread similar to my big pepper thread?

It would take longer to put together but would have points in companion planting, listing varieties comparing economy of space to yield, scientific research and agricultural practices, using the whole fruit, etc.

I grow and use a lot of citrus and have come across a lot of stuff in my research that is not well known.

A group of foxes in my garden, trying to work out if the big monkey with the camera is dangerous....

After I took this, I went straight back inside so that they knew I was nothing to worry about, and they could get back to relaxing and chasing each other around the garden

They did do
